Fancy Feathers and Wings THE WOMEN'S WORLD IN VICOR THORUS SINEMATI TWENTY-EIGHTH Fancy Feathers THOSE who make up feathers into forms that are to decorate millinery, look with interest upon each wearer of plumage and each separate feather. Many thousands of persons spend their working hours sewing pasting, wiring, branding and otherwise manipulating the plumage of birds (mostly domestic fowls) into new forms. Each feather is regarded with an eye to its possibilities in the evolution of something new by the manufacturers. Even the tiny feathers from the neck of the pigeon or peacock are handled separately, in making up the most expensive pieces. Just lately, large butterflies made of these, pasted to a foundation, covered on the outside and inside of tiny wings with the tiny feathers have made us marvel at the work of the designers. You can imagine the sheen of the wings and the splendor of color. The bodies are of velvet and the antennae of wired chenille or gold cord. In Fig. 1 a fancy feather piece is shown, in which the form is purely artificial, that is, not made to copy any particular natural object, but an arrangement of plumage from different sources into an ornamental piece. The designer must consider whether his work is to be worn at the front, back or sides of a hat. The piece shown is made for the front. Beautiful and wonderful color studies and Simple Model That Calls for Either Serge, Fine Cloth or Cashmere. Serge, fine cloth or cashmere might be used for our simple model, which is made with a panel front laid on sides in a wrapped seam, and trimmed with buttons sewn on in sets of three.

Materials required: Four yards 48 inches wide, one dozen buttons. Velvet Bags When you gather up the scraps of your velvet afternoon dress, don't throw them away. Make them up into a soft bag that should be carried with the dress. It can be square or round, and whatever other material you wish can be combined with it. A long silk cord, or silver or gold if you wish the metallic note, must be attached. This is thrown over the arm. Beads, embroidery, little patches of tapestry or brocades and braid or lace, are easy ways of decorating the flat upper surface. upper surface Just as a personal touch, embroider your monogram in a circle or diamond down in one corner. Gloves. The gloves of tan dog-skin or of gray undressed kid are the correct things to wear with the tailored suit, but the white glove is permissible on many occasions and the prettiest fancy in a white glove is the thick kid which may be bought for $1.50 a pair. They are soft in texture and wear well. THE GAZETTE graceful lines are brought out in many of these decorations now almost universal. To use them effectively, where they are large or elaborate, one must choose a proper shape and color, and remember that the hat and other trimming stuffs are to be considered as a background for the feather. In the example shown the velvet shape and ribbon bows all in one color and shade, frame in the handsome piece mounted at the front. A small feather piece is not used in this way. The other trimming selected for the hat, leads up to it, and the fancy feather is to be used as the finishing touch, simply part of a whole. But milliners, and therefore manufacturers, are regarding with ever increasing favor, those feather pieces that are almost if not quite a complete trimming in themselves. Nearly all the wings worn on hats are "made" wings, which term distinguishes them from "natural" wings. They are made so cleverly that it is difficult to believe they are put together by the hand of man. A pair of such wings springing from a band of feathers, is shown in Fig. 2. The band and wings form a single piece for which the velvet-draped turban makes an effective background. Such feather pieces make the work of the home milliner easy. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. White or Cream Colored Voile, Embroidered Heavily, Approved Thing in Lingerie Dress. The very latest news from Paris tells us that white or cream-colored voile, embroidered heavily, will be the approved thing in lingerie dresses for early spring. That seems to be looking a good ways ahead, but if you do your own embroidery you will want this time to get ready in. Really the possibilities are endless and fascinating. Either heavy embroidery (wallachian, for instance) will be used, or beadwork with rubber beads, or a combination of the two. Can't you just see a wall-of-troy design, worked solid in white and outlined beads? Or, perhaps, the beads would be black, and a black hat would be worn with the dress, or Alice blue, or old rose, or some other becoming and striking shade. How pretty this would be in a three-piece suit, with the embroidery consisting of a skirtband, side plats on the waist and collars and revers on the coat! Then there are other ideas—a Persian design worked out in vart-colored beads, for instance, or a spray of heavy flowers, morning-glories or passion flowers, with centers and veins accentuated by means of beads in the proper colors. In this case, the embroidery itself would be equally attractive in life colors or in white or even in black. Then there are all the metal effects. How lovely bronze would be on cream volle, or silver on pure white! Volle has the advantage of traveling easily, and so it would be quite possible to draw a thread all the way along the materials and work from that. Even drawnwork could be combined with these other effects. Doesn't it make you want to start right away? Do have a dress like this for next season. I'm going to! Lace Flower Pins. The latest in dalyty and charming pins for wear on collars and cuffs is a lace flower crocheted around an ordinary small safety pin. The flower is usually in violet form, though in white, and stands out stiffly from the pin. When crocheted to a violet pin, it may be used to fasten jabots of flowers, and it is just as pretty, though not quite so new, as applied to the hatpin. A set of these lovely white lacepins—three for collar, two for cuffs—two hatpins and two stickpins would be the prettiest, present a bride or a traveler to Europe ever received. The bar of the safety pin is crocheted over and over to hide the steel. In black, with black pins, they solve the question of what to use in morning.

In a scathing review of the testimony taken by the senate committee on privileges and election in the case of William Lorimer of Illinois, who is charged with having obtained his seat in the United States senate by corrupt practices, Senator Crawford of South Dakota dugged himself to vote to unseat Lorimer on the ground that his election was illegal and void. The house of representatives passed the Sulloway general pension bill by a vote of 212 to 62 Tuesday.

Sims, the United States naval officer who, at a recent dinner given in London by the lord mayor of that city, declared that If Great Britain ever were seriously threatened, she could depend on 'every man, every dollar, every drop of blood' in this country, should be publicly repudiated. Almost 94 per cent. of the increase in population of Illinois the last ten years was contributed by the municipalities having a population in excess of 5,000, they having increased almost 768,000, compared with the state's total of 817,041.

Senator Beveridge submitted to the senate a minority report from the committee on elections in which it is declared that the election of William Lormer was illegal and void. Senator Owen offered a resolution of similar import and both ask that the Illinoisman be ousted from the senate. At a meeting of the senate committee on the judiciary a decision was reached by a vote of 8 to 3 to report favourably the subcommittee resolution authorizing an amendment to the constitution providing for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people.

The Island of Crette appealed to President Taft, through a committee which called upon him, to take up with the protecting powers of Great Britain, France, Russia and Italy the question of terminating Turkish rule in the island. By holding that the packers indicted by the grand jury last summer might be tried for a violation of the federal statutes as well as on a charge of violating the injunction issued by Judge Groscup in 1902, Judge Carpenter in the United States district court, brought about the third defeat of the defendants at the hands of the government. The senate passed a bill introduced in December by Senator Cullom of Illinois, providing for the erection of a magnificent memorial or monument to Abraham Lincoln at a cost not to exceed $2,000,000.

LATEST IN SURGERY Most Interesting of Advanced Methods Applies to Stimulating of Osseous Growth Artificially by Injecting Formalin. New York.-Limbs may be lengthened by stimulating the growth of the bones and cut arteries repaired with metal rings something in the manner adopted in joining water malns, according to methods of the new surgery described in the current medical journals. One of the most interesting of the advanced methods applies to the stimulation of osseous growth artificially by injecting formalin. This is a solution of the gas formaldehyde used as a disinfectant and preservative, and the liquid has been employed not only in its pure state, but in the two per cent solution. The experiments which have been conducted so far by Dr. R. O. Melsenbach are described by him in the Journal of Orthopedic Surgery, and there is an editorial upon them in the Medical Record of this city. Doctor Melsenbach conducted his experiments on the legs of rabbits, selecting usually the right tibias and using the left as a control or means of comparing results. He also availed himself of mechanical means, but the most satisfactory results were obtained with the formalin injections. It is said the introduction of the solution, which also has high antiseptic qualities, stimulates the secretion of lime from the fibrous tissue which covers the cartilage and thus builds up the bone. If this method should be applied to human beings, it might be of great value, and the medical authorities think such an application of the discovery is far from remote. It is held that the formalin stimulation may serve as a stepping stone to a new method of treatment in bone cases which have hitherto baffled the skill of surgeons: Fones which have stubborn compound fractures might thus be made to reunitie, and limbs, which are abnormally shortened through the arrest of the growth of bone, as is so frequently the case in children after attacks of infantile paralysis, could be lengthened. The discovery might extend even to the treatment of tuberculosis of the bones and to various diseases which affect the framework of the body. There are numerous cases where persons who have broken arms or legs are crippled permanently even with all the attention which skilled surgery can give, and were it possible to create new bones at the places where it is required many a limp would be avoided. The modern surgeon, therefore, by taking thought may yet be able to add to the stature of man. The results have been very encouraging, according to the scientific reports, for some of the best of them were obtained by only one injection of the formalin. Joining of the ends of a parted artery by the use of rings of the metal magnesium is described in the last number of the journal of the American Medical association by Drs. V. Lespinasse, G. Carl Fisher and J. Eisentadt, in an article descriptive of their work in the department of experimental surgery in the Northwestern university medical school. They acknowledge the assistance of Drs. Zeit, Wolfer, Violet, Deason and Solomon. The vessel had been clamped at either side of the cut, and the ends sewed into holes in the magnesium rings. The tissue is secured firmly, and the two flat rings are fitted against each other and bound together by passing silk thread through the holes in the rims. This is only BIG COST AS DIVORCE CURE general description, for there are variations of the success specified. The rings thus fitting flush against each other and tightly bound together, form a union. The clamps are removed and the blood stream flows as ever through the accustomed channel. The metal of which the rings are made is only slightly acted upon at first by the fluids of the body and the salt. They are thoroughly sterilized before their introduction, either in distilled water or a spring or lake water which is only slightly saline. For 30 days the rings, hold their original shape and at the end of that period they begin to break down and in from 80 to 100 days they have been completely absorbed into the system. Conclusions the surgeons reach is that the use of these rings makes the operation safe, certain and easy, and brings it well within the skill of the average surgeon. They declare that the operation is applicable in all wounds of the large vessels and that it is possible to remove a short piece of the injured blood vessel, bring the extremities together and then to re-establish circulation by making an end to end union in the simple mechanical manner they have employed. New Orleans—Preparing to embark on a deer-hunt from New Orleans, a party of local sportsmen was surprised by a buck that raised his antlers in combative attitude before its boat. "We did not expect to be met halfway," was the explanation advanced by one of the party as to the abandonment of the hunt after the deer was shot. How the deer had strayed into the outskirts of the city was not explained. Sir Edward Carson, Noted English Lawyer, Would Make Erring People Pay Dearly. London.—Sir Edward Carson, K. C., who practiced in Ireland for many years before coming to England, and who was an expert witness before the divorce commission here the other day, expressed the belief that every obstacle should be thrown in the way of those who sought divorce to make it difficult to obtain decrees. He said it would be a fatal mistake to make the obtaining of divorces easier. He believed a judge should exhaust every effort to induce those seeking divorces to settle their difficulties out of court and to become united. When Sir Edward was told that working people had not the facilities of the wealthier to obtain divorces, he invariably replied that he would equalize matters if he could by cutting down the facilities of the wealthy. In Sir Edward's opinion, the damages given in divorce cases are as a rule entirely adequate. He thought it would be a salutary thing if the damages were much heavier. In the case of a man with £20,000 to £30,000 a year who coveted another man's wife and took her away from him the damages should not be £5,000 but £100,000. This certainly increases the worth of a wife. When asked if he would not be in favor of leaving the matter of damages to the judge, Sir Edward replied, that he thought judges were inclined to be even more parsimonious in such cases than juries. In reply to a question from a member of the commission the lawyer said he would put the sexes on terms of equality and advanced the startling theory that a woman should not be able to divorce her husband for inh- WESTERN REVENUE CLEVELAND, O.

New York.—From the underlying rock formation of the New Jersey shore, directly opposite this city, rock drillers under the direction of Barnum Brown, assistant curator of the American Museum of Natural History; are engaged in removing the skeleton of a huge antediluvian reptile, generally believed to be that of a dinosaur. The skeleton, which is imbedded in the rock, is being taken out with the utmost care and will be mounted and placed in the museum. Discovery of the specimen was made a year ago by graduate students of the department of geology, Columbia university. A small fragment of the rock was chemically treated and proved to contain phosphate, assuring the scientists that what they had discovered was in fact a skeleton. The bones were discovered in the red shale which underlies the upper formation of the Pallades. It is millions of years older than the upper coating, according to the geologists. TEACH MEALS AND MANNERS Efforts Being Made to Train English Children on Table Etiquette—See Benefits. London—Efforts to train the noorer children of London to be "well-mannered and well-behavod" are being made by the London common council education committee in the course of the arrangements for feeding the necessary children. The general appearance of the average necessities child has been improved, the report declares. Some children, however, remain ill-nourished, mainly through unsuitable food or lack of digestive power, or other causes, such as bad teeth, hurried meals, drinking strong tea, insufficient sleep and chronic fatigue and overwork.

YOUNG SPINSTERS MAKE VOW Six San Francisco Maldens, Fearing Divorce, Agree Never to Enter Matrimony. San Francisco.—Society was surprised the other day by the announcement that six debutantes of last season—Miss Agnes Tillman, Miss Dorothy Wast, Miss Anna Olney, Miss Marion Davis and Miss Josephine Johnson—had wowed with solemnity ceremony and seeming sincerity that never would they consent to be shackled with the bonds of marriage. In a season's whirl they say they have observed that glamor fades and romance passes away; that the prince cuts a sorry figure in a divorce court. The days of chivalry are no more, they sadly assert. It was on the eve of her debut that one of the social favorites learned of the ways of the matrimonial mart. She chanced to read an attack on the marriage market of society, in which it was set forth that girls were presented like wares to be disposed of as soon as possible, at high figures at first, then at reduced rates that be come lower each year until the premium of a dowry may be offered. Alfonso Sends $100 to Widow. Paris.—King Alfonso, learning of the death of a Paris policeman named Vell, who was wounded on the occasion of the anarchist outrage against the king in the Rue de Robau, Paris, has sent a check for $100 to the man's widow. --- THE GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY One Year.....$1.50 Six Months.....1.00 Three Months.....50 Subscribers are requested to re- mit by postoffice money or order or registered letter.

Three Virginia Afro-American banks, two of them in Richmond, went into the hands of receivers, last year. We are learning the banking business, sure enough. The fight of the federal government to have the labor contract law of Alabama declared unconstitutional was successful when the U.S. Supreme court last week Wednesday held the law invalid. The government said the statute reduced hundreds of Negroes to peonage (slavery). Now let the federal government proceed against disranchisement, and the "fincrow" car laws of southern states at least as far as they effect inter-state passengers. --- Ever since the Reno, Nev., flight of last July, there has been more or less daily newspaper talk of the "doping" of Jim Jeffries just prior to it. The "dope" was undoubtedly administered to Jeffries all right, but during the fight, and by one John Arthur (Jack) Johnson, champion heavyweight puglist of the world, and it was the same kind of legitimate fight "dope" that the same Johnson "handed" Tommy Burns and Stanley Ketchell, practically closing their careers, too, as fighters. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois says "the race problem is not one problem. It differs not only in time, but in place." Very true. After referring to "Toledo, with its Colored group a little pushed aside and half forgotten in the award of the growing city in the group gripped itself and awoke and said: 'We are a part of Toledo—you may not forget us.' So now slowly 'comes the push forward and upward,' he says: "In Cleveland it is far different—it is not so much a matter of gaining civic recognition as men and women—that battle was fought by worthy men long years ago. It is the deeper problem, the more difficult of solution, gained; of not letting theaters and restaurants and hotels inaugurate a new discrimination which had once disappeared." Even So. And it is the "Jimcrow" Negro in this community that is the most discouraging element among us, and that is making the "deeper problem, all the more difficult of solution, gained" of Dr. Booker T. Washington's pernicious "doctrine of surrender" is doing those of the race in this community more real harm than the increased discrimination and denial of citizen rights of recent years. --- South Carolina has a new Governor whose hobby is a division of that state's educational fund between the blacks and the whites. Gov. Cole L. Blease is his name, he is a great admirer of Booker T. Washington, and he is also among the minds about all matters concerning our race. Read this: "I am firmly convinced," said Gov. Rip Van Winkle. "Blease, after the most careful thought and study, that the Almighty created the Negroes to be beavers of wood and drawers of water. I also believe that the great man who created the Negroes made was in attempting to educate the free Negro. I believe in teaching the Negro's good trade and how to read and write so that he may be able to protect his own interests. When comes to placing him in a process of being endeavoring to do something with him which God never 'intended', and the result has always been, and always will be, the ruling of a good laborer and the making of a very poor recruit. I have thought this is proved by the fact that our chaining and our penitentiaries are now crowded with educated Negroes. I believe that it is better to leave the Negro where it was intended, contented, happier and in every way better satisfied, and where he will cause less trouble and less friction between the races." PULLMAN PORTERS' PETITION. At the last worm has turned—Pullman porters have presented a petition to the general manager of the company at Chicago, asking for an increase in wages and saying among other things: "The growing tendency of the traveling public either to discontinue altogether, or to reduce to one-half or less, the gratuities with which they formerly rewarded Pullman, porters the high cost of living generally, have forced us to come through you to the Pullman company begging for some relief." Many months ago, the editor of The Gazette called the Inter-State Commerce Commission's attention, in an open letter, to the fact that the Pullman Company practically made it necessary for the travelling public to pay in the tide wages of the porters because the $15, $20 and occasionally $25 each month it paid the men, barely covered their board and other legiti- mate living expenses while away from home on their runs. We did this not only to show the company's failure to pay a proper wage to its porters but also to call the attention of the country to the inconsistency and unfairness of the individual and newspaper howl against the tipping system in vogue on Pullman sleepers particularly, as long as the company refused to pay its porters proper wages, and are glad to say we succeeded. The point was pretty generally noted in the daily and weekly press. We trust the petition will be pushed vigorously and that the attention of the Inter-State Commerce Commission will at least be called to it. This latter may prove very helpful to the effort of the porters, especially in view of that august body's discussion some months ago of this very phase of the sleeping car question, as the result of The Gazette's letter. --- Maybe it was Powhatan. "Ohio can spare him," is the headline line over the cut of Charley Cottrill in The Cleveland Gazette, which but confirms suspicions *o* entertained in certain quarters, that the president's accent, Nervous apocrypha, was a thorn in the flesh of a gentleman whose patronymic sounds very much like that of a historical character whose life was saved by an Indian maiden.—Charleston (W. V.) Advocate. Cottrill was "a thorn in the flesh" of every loyal member of the race in Ohio when in the last national campaign he was sent into various parts of the state by his white political bosses to warn Afro-Americans to vote for Taft on the ground that the election of a democratic president would result in the appointment of southern democrats to positions on the bench of the U. S. Supreme Court, and this endanger the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the U. S. constitution. This very thing President Taft, whom Charleyrs was supporting, had promised to do and has done, even going so far as to elevate the most notorious of his several southern democratic and ex-rebel appointees to that bench, to the supreme judgement. This is worse than Willim Jennings Bryan, as president, would have dared to do. Those of the face, like The Gazette, who could not support either Taft or Bryan because both were and are anything but friends of the race, cannot be expected to have much use for a Negro, who knowing well the situation, has the brazen erronytery to truckle at such cost to the race, that a little personal benefit may follow. Can any same person be involved in the situation of the great mass of Ohio-Americans did (and they showed it by refusing to vote for either Bryan or Taft) regard Cottrill and his kind (Taft Negroes) as anything else than "thorns in the flesh". Would that all such could be sent out of Ohio and the country. They can be spared, God knows, and the race greatly benefited. That some of our leading papers and individuals find it necessary to truckle to the present political power (national) and to certain personal and educational interests, rather than to stand up bravely and manfully for the right and the race's vital interests, is, to say the least, to be greatly regretted, lamented. It is a new and miserable condition of affairs (journalistic and personal) that characterizes the new order of things that has unfortunately grown up in recent years. TWO ENCOURAGING DECISIONS. There are two very encouraging things that have happened in recent weeks, that seem to promise a new and better condition for the industrial South, and that mean most, perhaps, to our people of that section. One, and first, is the Supreme Court's decision against the Alabama peonage law. Next comes President Tatt's refusal to commute all of the imprisonment part of the sentence of a wealthy man whose company wealth in Alabama and Florida and who was indicted and convicted on a charge of conspiracy to violate the anti-peonage statute of the latter state. The Alabama peonage (slavery) law made it a misdemeanor to take advance pay for labor and then fail to work it out. Practically it meant that if a workman contracted to labor and then found the conditions insupportable he could be reduced to servitude by the indirect method of treating his failure to pay a debt as a crime. Unfriendly demands from servants have frequently been sent to the chain-gang. If household employees could be so treated, think of the plight of laborers in improvised construction camps. Anent the above, the Chicago Record-Herald said, recolly: "The decision of the Supreme Court will be welcomed by humane and right-minded people everywhere, and it will put new heart into the colored population of the south. This confidence will be strengthened by the action of the federal and state and urpentine operator in Florida. It is not only likely that bad labor legislation in the south will be checked, but it becomes less likely that offenders against the plain.laws of humanity shall escape unpunished." "Fines are not effective against men of wealth. Imprisonment is necessary;" wrote President Taft in refusing to commute all of the prison sentence against W. S. Harlan, the number and turpentine maginate mentioned above and convicted of peonage. Harlan was sentenced in the U. S. circuit court to 18 months in prison and to pay a fine of $5000. Taft commuted the term to six months only, but denied the application for pardon. The president ought not to have lessened the term of imprisonment which was not long enough as it was. It leaves a bad impression, in the face of his grandiosity and very true statement that "fines are not effective against men of wealth. Imprisonment (for long terms) is necessary."

DOINGS OF THE RACE The editor of the Indianapolis Plain-dealer evidently is not acquainted with either Charlie "Cottrell" or the editor of The Gazette. George W. Walker, comedian for a long time, associated with Ilex Williams, died Saturday in a sanitarium in Long Island, N. Y., from parsis. Subscriptions amounting to $2,520 were pledged by the team workers themselves as a start for the first day of the ten-day race for $50,000, to be raised among Chicago Afro-Americans for building on the South side that city. Harry T. Burleigh was a soloist at Carnegie hall. New York City, recently, when Conductor Walter Damrosch and the Symphony Orchestra gave the annual exhibition of "Bethlehem." Mr. Burleigh was one of the few participants. Thomas Fuller, the lightning calculator, a black man, was once asked how many seconds a man had lived whose age was held to be seventy years, three months and seven days. He gave the answer almost instantly. When a witness of the performance figure, John McQuillan, smoothed different result, Fuller cried: "Aha! just as I thought. You forgot the leap-years." In 1788, Oloback, an African, who had married an Englishwoman, published books in London assailing the slave trade. A contemporary of his, a Guinea Negro named Arno, was sold into slavery and brought to Holland, where he became a socialist, most prestigious Hebrew, French, Dutch and German. He was made professor at the University of Wittenburg and later state counsellor at Berlin. In 1734 he wrote a learned treatise on "The Sensations Regarded as Independent of the Mind and Connected with the Body," before this subject was exploited by Cordillace. Another Arno was a friend of Sterne. He was taken up as a student and brought up. Juan Latino, as his epitaph in Grenada relapsed, taught Latin and Greek in the cathedral college. Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion, tired of the various stories that Jeffries was doped, is out in a defl for another battle with the exploded champion. Johnson's offer followed champion. Johnson's cent story alleging that the "white hope" (Jeffries) was drugged, and that "Jeff is as good today as he ever was, and could take Johnson's measure." "I'll give Jeff a return match any time he wants it," said Johnson. "If Old Man Jeff is as good as it is good was, just let him go purposeful, and then watch me. I'll sign articles, and I won't demand anything unreasonable. I'm tired of these stories that Jeff was doped." Jeff has had all the Johnson he wants and enough to last him to the end of his life; also too much Johnson" once with Jeff, and that is enough and then some. Says the Chicago Daily Inter-cean, editorially: "The Republican party throughout the United States is in a period of prostration such as it has not experienced before since the Civil war, in reforming a bad situation the United States has faced, in facts. If Mr. Taft will do this instead of giving himself over to an optimism which, at this moment is worse than useless, he possibly may yet 'bring order out of the confusion; strength out of the weakness and something like harmony out of the chaotic dissension. Otherwise, the nominee in 1912 is likely to go by default to him or Mr. Roosevelt and to be made an empty honor by the vigor of the rejuvenated Democracy, which, with Harmon and Dix or Dix and Harmon at its head, will sweep Indiana, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and New Jersey, the Presidency of the United States, as it has taken over the House, and seems about to take over the Senate."

Social Center of Town—Little Comfort in the Homes—Sisters Must Marry Before Their Brothers Do. To the Greeks, If we are to believe Duke Fertman, then of making a home is not a notion, which does not necessarily mean that the men of Helas lack the notion of "home" or dislike it. They understand home life otherwise then we do, that is all. "One may meet with exquisite cleanliness," Mr. Ferriman states, "with beautifully embroidered bed linen scented with rosemary, but never with what we mean by coziness. The Greeks are far less in their houses than we are, and when they are at home they appear to spend most of their time in looking out of the window. They are not given to inviting their friends do their houses. It is not that they are piggyback, for they will gladly entertain you at a restaurant at far greater cost to themselves. But it does not enter into their ideas to ask you home to dinner, even after morning and evening. "They do not ask each other, so it can hardly be expected that they should make an exception in the case of foreigners. The cafe is a second home to them. There they meet friends and gossip. That is one reason, perhaps, why they dislike country life. "It offers no alternative to the home, there the hearth is the social center, while in town it is the cafe. In Athens those who do not own the house they dwell in seldom remain long in the same abode. Two or three years is quite a long tenure. Many people make a point of moving every year. "The imposing facades of Athenaean houses conceal for the most part a bare and comfortless interior, and a well kept garden is rare. . . . A garden is not made in a year, and a person who changes his residence every twelve months does not want to beuble with him in any furniture for her gardening, but for her arrangement, seeing that it will be carted away in a few months. "Homo life has no resources for the Greeks as it has for us. It affords them little occupation and no amusement. They like to eat and drink in crowds, where there is noise and movement. . . . Their instincts are too gregarious to allow them to appreciate the domestic intimacy which we prize. The day chosen for marriage in Greece is usually Sunday, but the day of all days in the year is the Sunday Great World TO YOUR HOME Address on the coupon below—that upon your name and address is reco- n will be sent to you prepaid.

Oblige the preceing the Christmas fast. It is not fashionable now to be married in church. In Athena, the ceremony takes place in the house of the bride's parents. A temporary altar is set up in the middle of the room. "At the conclusion of the ceremony the priest and the couple join hands and walk three times around the altar, the guests pelting them with comfits. The most important part of the ceremony is the crowning of the bride and bridegroom with wreaths of orange blossoms. Hence a wedding is popularly called the crowning." "Love marriages are rare exceptions. The match is made by the parents and relatives rather than by the parties principally concerned. There are certain established usages which though not legally binding are not to be contravened with impunity. "Then it is considered wrong, for brothers to marry until their sisters have been wed. Again girls must marry in order of seniority. It would not be right for a girl to be married while she had an older sister who remained single. The men of a family are thus naturally anxious to see their sisters settled, and as a dowry is indispensable its provision is often a matter of serious anxiety and the fruit of great self-delication on the part of the brothers if the parents are dead. "There are cases in which brothers have remained unmarried for years and have devoted all their hard earned savings to the dowries of their sisters. Among the poorer classes migration is resorted to not infrequently solely with this object and many a dowry comes to a Greek maiden from across the Atlantic."—London Daily Mail. The Way of a Woman.

Zion church Sunday afternoon on "Four-Fourths of a Man," was very good and highly appreciated, with the exception of the Negro stories that were thrown in. Persons of intelligence among our people do not care for that stuff, nor do they deem them "funny. Possibly the Doctor thought it to be a good idea for a Mexican audience, because the Individual who introduced him told one which he thought was "funny." But no one else saw the "fun." The latter ought to know better. 'Every line in a newspaper costs the proprietor something. If it is for the benefit of the individual alone, it should be paid for. If the grocery was asked to contribute groceries to one abundantly able to pay for them, he would refuse. The proprietor of a newspaper must pay for the free advertising, if the beneficiary does not; but it is one of the hardest things to be learned by many that a newspaper has space to rent and must rent to live. To give anything for less than living rates is as fatal to a newspaper as for the landlord to furnish rent free.—Ex. Dr. J. M. Gilmore, P.

A reader of The Gazette has sent it the following: "I noticed that a writer in your paper some weeks ago, in referring to the lecture delivered by Prof. Cutter, Nov. 27, 1910, at Mt. Zion church, says the Professor referred specifically and directly to the mob violence laws of Ohio and Illinois in a commendatory manner, and also the acts empowering the Governors of those states to remove a sheriff for dereliction of duty during a riot. It all depends upon the angle from which we look at such matters. It is a fact that Prof. Cutter alluded to the laws being in existence but I certainly do not agree with the writer when he says they were spoken of in a com- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1911 mandatory manner. Prof. Culter certainly insinuated that they were on the statute books and that was all that they were inadequate and that only one case under the Ohio Anti-Lynching law and benefited by said Law. The gist of Prof. Culter's entire lecture was that lynchings existed and would continue to take place, and that he certainly owned for the same. He certainly offered none, nor did he deplore the state of affairs. He made the statement that wherever a lynching took place, and the victim was known to be guilty, that popular opinion favored it and all that was said or done was: "It is no more than he deserved." If, on the other hand, the victim was found later to be innocent, then, all that is said is: "It is too bad; and that is the end of it. He said that out of the 3,000- or more lynchings not more than fifty of the violators of the law had ever been brought to justice." Many of us of the Negro race know too much about lynchings to have any one pull the wool over our eyes or talk to us as though we were babies. We know that too often prejudice is the direct cause, and have reasons to believe that these alleged crimes are committed, not by black faces but by blackened faces." Second Symphony Orchestra Concert The music going public knows very little of Mozart and his works except what it has been told of the early life of this great composer. Surrounded with all of the luxuries of life after he had shown the abilities he possessed, it is only natural to expect the music he composed to be more or less influenced by his surroundings. These formed the young man's mind so that we today know Mozart best for his beautiful, airy and dainty music. Music such as would be appropriate for delightful court affairs seems to have been the stronghold of this great composer. His music gives the auditor the idea that while there was sorrow and trouble in his time, he had very little time to think about it. He was a young man when he died, and he was a dainty and began when he was so young that he had accomplished more when he died, at the age of thirty-five, than the average composer has at seventy. Mr. Sol Marcosso has been engaged as the soloist. He will present the G minor Drich concerto, in which he will have the assistance of the orchestra under the direction of Mr. Johann Beck. Mrs. Marcosso will assist him in the individual numbers. The program for Sunday's concert at 2 p.m. sharp, follows: March, "Dedication".....A. Foester Symphony (G Minor)...W. A.

"Butterfly farming" is new too, as no airship building HERE is no end of odd occupations in the world whereby people gain a livelihood, but certainly one of the most novel of these vocations is the raising of butterflies for butterfly farming "in no other way" as airship building in fact, and up to date not many people have taken it up but it is safe to predict that the number will increase considerably as time goes on for when one can get $20 to $25 for a handsome butterfly in the open market it goes without saying that such butterflies are worth cultivating and are enough more profitable than chickens to justify the extra trouble they cause. Perhaps, at the outset, a word should be said about the market for butterflies and then the reader will better understand why men and women are devoting all their time to butterfly farming and to that 'other branch of the business'—the hunting of rare butterflies in out of the way corners 'of the world'. First of all there is a constant and fairly heavy demand for butterflies from museums, schools and colleges and scientific institutions of one kind or another. Such institutions may be seeking individual specimens of butterflies to gape in collections already fairly common (particularly if the institution be a national, established one) they may be in the making of a complete collection of butterflies representing the winged jewels that inhabit any country or region, and it is a commission such as this that brings joy to the butterfly expert, for great institutions of learning are, usually willing to pay a fair price for the prizes they seek. Yet another butterfly market and one that is broadening rapidly year by year is that wherein butterflies are sold to private collectors. It is very common in Europe and is yearly becoming more common in this country for people of wealth to have collections just as people of means and leisure amuse themselves with collections of stamps or coins or paintings. Tea Etique It has grown to be customary in the United States to consider any practise of so old a country as China as being of barbaric or heathenish origin and often as crudo or uncivilized in its nature. A young American philosopher wrote that business trip in China which took him all over the empire tells of a custom practised by the Chinese which might well be used to advantage in this young and inexperienced republic, where too little time or thought is given to the finer points of etiquette. When a salesman or person seeking a business interview presents his card the entrance to Chinese merchandise business, the ability of an audience depends altogether upon how he deports himself while awaiting the return of the card bearer. Should he be, so indiscreet as to put one foot over a twelve inch Two Women of a Past Generation Disc cuse With Some Regret the Present Methods. A mother and a mother-in-law living in the same house with their respective married son and daughter were, contrary to all generally received ideas such relationship, the best of friends. They sat one evening, after the departure of the young people to the theater, exchanging views upon the difference between old and present-day practices in the bringing up of children. "Alice just tumbles the baby into his crib," said the maternal grandmother, "shuts the door upon him and leaves him to go to sleep when he gets tired of lying awake. She says she has little enough time for getting ready to go out even then. I always counted upon singing my babies to sleep and enjoyed it as much as they did. My daughter sings a beautiful little lumaby in the parlor to her guests sometimes, but her baby has never heard it." "I think my son's devotion to me," said the other grandparent, "began when his baby eyes used to devour you with lore while I rocked him to Have you ever felt absolutely hopeless? Have you ever grown weary of waiting for a turn in the tide of your fortunes? Have you ever been so close to the breaking point that it seemed as though nothing else could possibly matter? Into each of our lives some wretched days of darkness and gloom must creep, and though their bitterness seems unbearable, it is seldom that our skies remain forever overcast. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1911. ONE OF THE RARE PRODUCTS OF A BUTTERFLY FARM A BUTTERFLY HUNTER or old furniture. Certainly there is nothing in nature or art more beautiful than a collection of butterflies and it is a bishop upon which one may spend almost any amount of money, as is proven by the fact that one of the Rothschilds gladly paid more than $3,000 for an especially rare butterfly which he had long sought for his collection. Most of these private collectors, of course, purchase their butterfly treasures merely for their own satisfaction and for the edification of their friends but there are other folk who buy butterflies as an aid to their work or business. For instance the great Parisian dressmakers buy butterflies in order to obtain new shades and suggestions for new color combinations for gowns. The famous Worth started the practise and other dressmakers who cater to the wealthy fashionables have followed his example. The butterfly hunter penetrates to the wildest and most inaccessible quarters of the globe in quest of his precious prey and much of his butterfly hunting must be done at night with the aid of a dark lantern. A butterfly-hunter is glad to get a rare butterfly dead or alive because the ralling that intervenes between the step and the doorway no manner of persuasion can prevail upon the merchant to grant him an interview. In case he waits patiently in the space lilted to unknown callers this fact is noted and he is usually ushered. Once in there is still a more delicate matter to be disposed of, and in case the newcomer is ignorant of the custom he fares ill with his errand. Immediately upon the caller's entering and taking a seat a servant brings a serving of tea, which includes a small cup for each person present. The point of etiquette demands that this tea shall not be touched until the guest is ready to depart. In case the servant reviews the case one, in which case the caller is supposed to take up and drink his tea at parting and at this signal all the others do likewise. However, should it sleep in my arms. I used to look forward to that hour as a recompense for the trials of the tiring day. The present day mothers do not teach the little ones a prayer and haven't time to hear them say it, if they learn one. As for rocking a baby in a cradle you would think it was a crime the way the suggestion is received. They say it injures the brain, as though Shakespeare and the greatest minds the world ever has known weren't rocked in cradles. "Always the dearth of cradles explains the dearth of geniuses in these latter days." laughed the other old lady. "There are not as many surely as in the days of lullabies and cradles." About Diamond Cutting. In the diamond cutting industry the sawing-machine has superseded the cleaver's hammer and splitter to a large extent during the last few years. To divide diamonds by sawing, a thin disk of steel or phosphor-copper, revolving some 3,000 times a minute, slowly cuts through the diamond. In Amsterdam, as elsewhere, the diamond industry is for the greater These days of trials are often given to us to teet our moral strength in order to fit us for future responsibilities, and if we could but realize their significance at the time, and the part they are destined to play, we can help to judge of our character, the lessons they teach would not seem so unnecessary or the pain they cause so needless. Each heart knows its own sorrow, each life its own regrets, and A BUTTERFILLY EXPERT AT WORK price to be brought by that one specimen is apt to be well worth while but if the hunter has a "butterfly farm" at home, as most of the experts in this field are coming to have, he bends every effort to capturing alive the winged beauty, or, better still, several specimens, in the hope that such captives may be made the pioneers in a transplanted colony of the butterflies. However the mere capture of the butterflies, difficult as it may be, is not the sum and substance of the butterfly expert's troubles for if the butterflies are to live and thrive in their new home their keeper must be familiar with their habits and must have transplanted the vegetation necessary to give them the same environment they had, in their original home or "something equally as good." The most beautiful butterflies are the 'tropical ones' and thus it comes about that the butterfly farmer is more eager to stock his farm with the llyo jewels from Central' and South America and the West Indies. Some of these tropical butterflies measure six inches, from tip to tip of the wings and they are resplendiant in coloring of the most vivid hues. The butterfly dealer must handle his stock with greater care than is beaten by the other butterflies, course the butterflies hold collectors, museums, etc, are dead but extreme care must be exercised in handling lest their delicate 'wings be broken or crushed. Each butterfly when unmounted is kept in a three-cornered enclosure and the butterfly expert likes to mount a valuable specimen as promptly as possible feeling that the treasure is safer in that form. The latest approved method is to mount each butterfly between two glass plates so that both sides of the wonderfully colored wings may be seen. Another style mount consists of an amuletique plaque which is mounted in butterflies while over the specimen is placed a glass lid which seals it hermetically. This permits butterfly trophies (to bung on the wall like pictures. Some of the Formalities to be Observed at a Business Interview. so happen that the Chinmanman is not pleased with his caller and is in any way annoyed by him the merchant takes up the tea and begins to drink at once, which act is a direct and decided hint that the interview is ended and has not been to the pleasure of the merchant. The caller is then expected to take his immediate departure. When a caller has become well acquainted so, e of the formality is broken by the Chinese, and on a cold day a cup of tea is served immediately to the guest in a social suit. But the "formal" tea is still to be observed and partaken of at parting, irrespective of the cup given to warm and greet the caller on his arrival. This, however, is done only after many visits, when the business dealings have been of such a nature as to warrant friendship and this hospitality. Youth's Companion. part in the hands of members of the Jewish community. It was originally a home industry, and was conducted in attics, of which there are many in the old tumbledown houses of Amsterdam. Gradually better workshops were seen to be essential, and the first factory to use steam power was erected in London in 1824, and the first in Amsterdam in 1840. Electricity is now largely used. The largest diamond polishing factory in the world is the Messer, teacher of Paris, and Amsterdam. The value of diamonds handed in Amsterdam per annum exceeds $21,250,000, of which the United States, the most important buyer, purchases about $10,000,000-polished, and $500,000-rough. Change Enough Walter Winans was talking about our weather. "American weather," he said, "bears the palm of quick and incredible changes. Its like, in this respect, is found nowhere else in the world. The wife of a friend of mine had Palm Beach, Santa Barbara in her mind the other, day when she said to her husband: "George, the doctor says I need a change of climate." "All right, dear," said George. "It's going to be 55 degrees colder tomorrow." were we to try and measure the woes of this world by the same standard our calculations would prove nothing, for the simple reason that a rule of conduct which applies to one individual cannot always govern another. The trials which others have to endure sometimes seem rather trivial when contrasted with our own weighty cares, and yet it is not possible for us from the far-removed heights of our observations to have any clear conception of what those trials may really mean. IS NOW FIRST LADY Girl of 16 Presides Over Oklahoma's Executive Mansion. Governor's Motherless Daughter, Who Is a Half-Blood Indian, Assumes Duties Ordinarily Devolving on an Older Person. Ardmore, Okla.—Oklahoma's new "first lady," mistress of the executive mansion and deboutante daughter of Gov. Leo Crue, is a half-blood Indian. Her mother has been dead since she was a little girl and her father has devoted himself to his daughter, who is now a student in Hargrove college, this city. Miss Lorenne Jane Crue is the full name of the young girl. She is only sixteen years old, but the absence of anybody else to take charge of the food and domestic needs of the executive mansion makes it necessary for the governor's daughter to step to the front and assume the duties ordinarily devolving on an older person. Cruce was married in 1833 to Chickle Le Flore, a full-blood Chickasaw-Choota Indian of the noted Le Flore family of Carter county. "She was conceded to 1 a year of the most beautiful girls in that section of the territory. She and her sister were known throughout the southern part of the state as "Chickle and Chickle." The mother of the girls was a Chickasaw and the father a Choota. Mrs. Cruce, who died eight years ago, inherited the facial characteristics of the Chickasaws and was named "Chickle," while the name, "Chickle," was given to the other twin, who resembled the father's race, the Chootaws. Cruce came to the Indian territory from Kentucky in 1801 and settled at Ardmore. He had studied law at night, receiving final instruction at Vanderbilt university. He went into the office of his brother, A. C. Cruce, who had preceded him from Kentucky, and they formed a partnership with W. B.

Cape Town, Afrika—Everywhere in New Guinea the traveler is continually brought face to face with death, and the natives are devoid of the slightest pity or respect for the dead or dying, although after a death they will often wall and mourn for a considerable time. Murder is an everyday occurrence, and nothing could be worse than the morals of the natives. In fact, they have none; they thieve and lie with a persistence and cunning which is surprising. The Papuans have a cheerful custom which demands a life for a life; should anyone die, at the first opportunity they kill someone—they are not very particular whom—to make up for it. When the account is squared, everybody—except, presumably, the victim's friends—are satisfied. New Field for Women New York—Many large real estate firms in New York, Baltimore, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington are employing women in skyscrapers to keep them on things. They are often than men in this respect, it is contended. The pioneer in this new field for women came from Chicago and got a position as general superintendent in a New York office building. She regulates the sweepers, dusters and even the employees below the earth line, including firemen, and so forth. One duty of this busy woman is to show vacant rooms. The agent of the building says she works wonders. A pretty and attractive young woman, who persuasively relates all the conventions of her building—how charly are its attendants, how regular its firemen and janitors—can fill up any sort of office.

LIVES FOR SAKE OF HER ART Poet Joaquín Miller's Daughter Woose the Maker of the Map. New Lark Vodkowski. www.larkvodkowski.com New York.-Everyone has heard of Jonquin Miller, the poet of the Sierraes, who lives with his birds and his books in a little cabin on the mountain side above Oakland, Cal. Once in a while the aged and bewkisher herm-let-poet comes into civilization and entertains people with his undisguised contempt for society, but in the main he prefers to commune with nature THE LADY OF THE MUSEUM Miss Juanta, Miller, and the muse which he courts. He is a scholarly man with a plethora thoughts. His beautiful daughter, Miss Juanta Miller, is something of a hermit herself, for her home is a tiny room in Carnegie hall, this city—a room which used to be a box office. Young, pretty and very talented, she could take a moment in society if she wore. But she will have nothing to do with the pleasures and frivolities of the world. "I am trying to find myself and discover what I am here for," she says. "I am severely criticized by my friends for trying to live my own life, but to me freedom is above all else to be desired. My greatest horror is the possibility of being a sheep and following a leader. Society women do not love me and only lives a ahh life and happy and just an aming life which tends to most happiness. I have solved the problem of high prices. I pay $4 a week for my room here and as there are no bathing facilities I go to a Turkish bath once a week. My clothes I buy on Fourteenth street and pay almost nothing for them. My food costs me only $2 a week; so I may say my total living. expenses amount to but little more than $7 a week. I make my own coffee in the high street eighty-five avenue, where I get an egg sandwich for five cents and a good steak for ten cents. In the evening I make my coffee again, and have some fruit. "Once I was drifting and was bored. Now I am happy. I have done some water colors which my friends say are good. I can sing and I can play. Now I want to know which thing I can do best and then follow that line. Why should I consult my friends about my own alzeying? I couldn't stand my old life in society my longer and I broke away. I decided to earn my own living and be absolutely independent. I pay my way by, giving piano and mandolin lessons and have lots of time for myself. My father is heartily in sympathy with me." Miss Miller's mother is very fond of life and society, but cannot induce the girl to give up what seem to her to be very peculiar notions. Evidently Juanita is a feminine copy of Joaquin. GRAVE IN A CHICAGO PARK Massive Couch Mausoleum Stands as Last Vestige of the City's First Cemetery. Chicago.—Familiar as are most people, whether visitors or residents, with Lincoln-park, this city, and its principal features, there yet remains one object therein which causes wonder and question by many who go there, and while it remains an unexplained mystery to thousands. During the early days of Chicago's history the present site of the park was occupied by a cemetery. About 1865 interments The Couch Vault. ceased and the lot owners were given lots in other cemeteries. So the park became a pleasure instead of a burial ground. Among the pioneer settlers who ultimately found a resting place in this old cemetery was one 'Ira Couch by name, who built a mausoleum for himself and his family. When, however, the cemetery became a park the commissioners found that the Court finally objected to the removal of the tomb. Those circumstances finally settled the question of removal. So with its heavy blocks of stone and massive iron door it has stood for over half a century the last vestige of Chicago's first cemetery. Tightly-Laced - Shoe Bursts Artery.

Ending Her Days in the Cincinnati Zoological Garden is All That Remains of a Species Once Numerous. Cincinnati, O.—One solitary passenger pigeon, ending her life at the Zoological garden in Cincinnati, is today all that remains of an American species that early in the last century swarmed over the continent in flocks numbering billions. With the death of this sole survivor of a bird tribe, whose nesting places often covered hundreds of square miles, there will disappear the last race of the willipipes that have been slaughtered by the million by men who fed their hogs upon the carcasses they could not carry away. Though it is too late to save this species, special efforts are now being made by the Audubon workers to bring about the restoration of other birds of economic value that must otherwise share the same fate. For many months systematic search has been made throughout the continent by officials of the Audubon association for relics of the once profiteer passenger pigeon. Members of the organization headed by Prof. C. F. Hedge of Clark university have made a standing offer of $1,500 to anyone discovering a nest of this species; but, though thousands have been trying eagerly for the prize, not one single claimant has appeared. In response to a recent inquiry by T. Gill Pearson, secretary of the National Association of Audubon societies, the authorities of the Cincinnati Zoo have just furnished the last chapter in the tragic tale of these butchered birds. The "Last of the Passenger Pigeons" is a female, eleg- ```markdown ``` Passenger or Wild Pigeon. teen years old, whose mate died recently without issue at the age of twenty-four. As late as 1877 what is now known to have been the last nesting place of these wild birds was found in the state of Michigan, where their nests thickly covered the trees over an area 28 miles long and four miles wide. Residents of New York declare that in 1850 they flocked over Manhattan island in such numbers that they obscured the sun and that ships loaded in bulk with the bodies of these birds lay at the wharves selling them at its center aplace. Audubon is quoted as observing a roosting place of wild pigeons in Kentucky early in the last century that extended 40 miles and was three miles in width. On its edges men, with gun, nets, clubs and torches slaughtered the roosting birds, each often bagging 500 in one day. Declarating that practically all the gulls and terns in America today have survived solely through the work of protection and restoration at their reservations, leaders of the National Association of Audubon societies are now appealing to the people of this country to support the work of preserving dying species of native birds which they have already begun the process of capturing. Cabot's Tern and Least Tern, they assert, can now be saved to the nation by quick emergency measures for which special funds are to be raised. Popularizing the Potato. Paris.-When potatoes were introduced into France the natives had been told they were polosonous and that it was death to partake of them. To overcome this prejudice Parmenter gave a big banquet in Paris, at which every dish was made from potatoes. There were 16 courses in which potatoes played the major or minor part. Even the brandy and tiquers were the product of this vegetable, King Louis XIII. was among the guests and land on the cultivate bottom of Paris. As the tubers grew to size Parmenter posted guards around the fields by day and withdrew them at night so that those who lived around them could steal them at night, eat the vegetable and thus become continued. So unconsciously, the French were converted to the dish and never gave it up. World's Largest Room. Petersburg, Russia. — The largest room in the world under a single roof and unbroken by pilars of any sort is in this city. It is 629 feet in length and 150 feet wide.
